As I recently had to reinstall Vec 5.8 and require wine. And as wine 0.9.39 is out but 0.9.29 is the most recent available on the repository; I thought I would try to make a repository grade package. I have successfully built this before but I have compile errors.

configure: WARNING: Wine will be build without OpenGL or Direct3D supportconfigure: WARNING: because something is wrong with the OpenGL setup:configure: WARNING: /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a is present on your system.This probably prevents linking to OpenGL. Try deleting the file and restarting configure.

Is deleting /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a a wise course of action?

<edit>I renamed /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a to /usr/X11R6/lib/Backup_libGL.abut now get

I tried the test package in the repository and wanted to respond in a post requesting test results.I can't find that post ( it was here earlier today so it did not dissappear in the clean up) so I will relate my experiences here.

I got this error trying to install IEs4Linux. The bit about libXrender.so also appeared during the wine install.This may be unique to my system because the other wine packages yielded the same errors while the wine 0.9.39 package I compiled myself did not.

From your comment I take it that I shouldn't try to build anything other than personal packages on it with my present set up?

Yeah, if its for the repo, then you should use a "vanilla" VL setup, no extras.ATI and Nvidia use modified OpenGL libraries and headers, and the can interfere when building apps that expect to find the original ones, not modified ones.

BTW, do you get any library related errors like what nightflier was experiencing:
